Heavy traffic delays, detours and closings for long periods of time are expected between 9 a.m. to noon. Most of the village will be subject to short delays while runners pass through, but the 1/4 mile area near the intersections of Cohoes and Tibbits Avenue will see long delays and closures during this time. Drivers are advised to avoid this area during those hours and use the south end of the village to enter and exit. Those using I-787 are advised to avoid the Tibbits Avenue and Dyke Avenue intersections and instead use the 23rd Street exit/entrance ramps in the south end of town.
